Curriculum and Instruction, M.Ed.

The Master of Education (M.Ed.) in Curriculum and Instruction is designed to help practicing teachers and educational professionals take the next step in their professional development. M.Ed. candidates will be prepared to take on greater leadership in their classrooms, schools and districts, growing in their ability to make a positive impact on their schools and students. The M.Ed. program will help you earn a graduate degree in Curriculum and Instruction with one of three concentrations: Teacher Leadership, Data-Driven Assessment, or English Language Learning (ELL).

The five-semester, thirty-credit curriculum offers advanced coursework on learning theory, educational standards, assessment, teacher leadership and collaboration, and family engagement. Courses are offered in two formats: online and on-campus/hybrid. The Northwest University M.Ed. is designed to serve several populations:

Bachelors graduates holding the Residency Teacher Certificate who seek the M.Ed. degree in Curriculum and Instruction
Bachelors or masters graduates adding the ELL Endorsement to their Washington State Certificate
Educators (with or without a Residency Teacher Certificate) who wish to enhance their educational knowledge and skills through one of our three concentrations

(Students complete the Core Curriculum and one Concentration; courses are offered in two formats: online and on-campus.)
